The cold wind howled, and bursts of chill blew in from outside the open door of the temple, and brought a large number of snowflakes that fell to the ground, which flew into the main hall one after another, and flew among the golden pillars with the wind.

In the warm current overflowing over the main hall, the snowflakes gradually melted into water after a while.

A snowflake that had not yet melted flew gently past the Wheel King.

A trace of imperceptible confusion and incomprehension flashed in his eyes.

The Reincarnation King, who didn't know about it, really didn't understand what Emperor Xudu said, about Xiao Shizhu's possible inability to participate in Gong Mingyi's incident.

The reincarnation king's eyes rolled, and he thought about it: This Xiao Shizhu is the king of a country in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, does it mean that he disdains the matter of dealing with Gong Mingyi, a prisoner of war?

But after thinking about it, I thought again: no matter how disdainful you are, as long as it is profitable, Xiao Shizhu will never ignore it. What's more, Xiao Shizhu's ghost goblin has definitely seen that it is profitable, so he detained Gong Mingyi instead of stabbing the eunuch.

Therefore, the King of Reincarnation couldn't understand what Emperor Xudu's words meant?

Emperor Xudu looked around at the ministers in silence, stretched out his hand and stroked the big head of Han Zhu lying beside him, and said slowly without hurrying: "Think about it, if this matter is handled by the ghost mother herself, what will she do with Gong Mingyi?"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers of the Emperor Xudu pondered again.

Over the years, the Ghost Mother is no longer the only person in power in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and naturally she has gradually disappeared from the public's sight. More often, she is more like a good wife and mother, only responsible for giving advice and advice to Xiao Shizhu behind the scenes.

And even when she was the Ghost King, she was only in charge of the projectile island Shuoyue Island. The little ghost country makes the ghost mother dare not publicize, and in the past, she acted low-key and obeyed the court, but this is definitely not the real self of the ghost mother; Therefore, on the Heavenly Temple in Beiyin today, most of the ghost ministers and ghost generals present suddenly found that they didn't know the ghost mother at all after Emperor Xudu asked questions.

In this case, even if they racked their brains, they couldn't think of what the ghost mother would do if she came to deal with this matter?

Even some ghost generals immediately thought of it: they all said that they knew themselves and knew that they would not be defeated in a hundred battles, but they didn't know or be familiar with the two heads of the enemy country - Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother.

It is no wonder that the wars between the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Nine Shadows Kingdom are always more defeated than victorious.

When it comes to taking advantage, it is also very rare.

Thinking of this, these ministers and generals actually sighed for a long time.

The reason why I didn't sigh out is that this is a solemn court. Second, come on, it's the Emperor Xudu who is still there.

They just stood in the court, like logs.

"Your Majesty. At this moment, Zhong Kui, who was tall and mighty, but looked strangely ugly, with a leopard's head and eyes, an iron face full of sideburns, and a very serious expression between his facial features, held the hilt of the sword at his waist in one hand, and stood up with a wat in one hand.

The cold wind outside the hall blew, and the red robe on Zhong Kui's body was inspired.

"The minister thinks that the ghost mother should have been deeply taught by Xiao Shizhu's words and deeds over the years, and she has learned a lot of scoundrels and cunning. The loud voice came from Zhong Kui's mouth, and it resounded in the hall like thunder.

It's a bit deafening.

But his rough voice is innate, and he doesn't know how to whisper at all. Emperor Xudu and other ghost officials and generals are used to it.

"Since it is taught by words and deeds, the ghost mother will also blackmail. After a pause, Zhong Kui continued to say in a rough voice: "She will also blackmail the imperial court." wants to blackmail us into exchanging materials for Lord Gong Mingyi. Unless, Your Majesty, you give up Lord Gong Mingyi here, or attack the Nine Shadows Kingdom again and snatch Lord Gong back directly, he will always be the cash cow of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. ”。

When this remark was spoken, it was quickly approved by most of the ghost officials and generals.

Even the Reincarnation King agreed with Zhong Kui's statement.

Of course, what he agrees with the most is to give up Gong Mingyi. This villain is out of the limelight, and he is completely leading the mighty southern expedition of a million army, which makes the jealous reincarnation king unconvinced.

In exchange for Gong Mingyi, it is better to leave him to Xiao Shizhu to torture.

I heard that there was a kind of thing called tooth punishment in the Nine Shadows, and the reincarnation king was happy to see that Gong Mingyi was tortured by tooth punishment.

But after thinking about it, the King of Reincarnation felt that if he could spend a lot of money to redeem Gong Mingyi, then Gong Mingyi and Emperor Xudu would definitely be estranged.

In the future, it will not be easy for Gong Mingyi to think about being in the limelight again.

This kind of revenge can make Gong Mingyi slowly unhappy, which is much more refreshing than letting him torture Xiao Shizhu.

At this thought, the Reincarnation King had already put on a thoughtful look, and his brows were tightly knit and he looked down at the tips of his shoes, as if he was thinking about something again.

"Wheel King, you have all agreed, why are you thinking again?" Soon, Emperor Xudu noticed the change in the Wheel King, and said curiously: "Come, come, tell me what you think?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has been too busy with work recently, which is the reason why there is too much talent loss in the imperial court. The Reincarnation King, who sighed lightly, shook his head slowly and said, "This Lord Gong is a talent, and the minister suddenly thought that if he didn't care about his life or death, would Xiao Shizhu recruit him?"

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Xudu also frowned. He was still curious about what the Reincarnation King would say, and a trace of worry flashed on his face.

"Your Majesty. Zhong Kui, who had not yet returned to the queue, immediately shouted, and said: "The king of reincarnation is too worried, and he knows that Lord Gong and Xiao Shizhu are incompatible, even if Xiao Shizhu wants to recruit him, Lord Gong will not agree." He has an inexplicable hatred for Xiao Shizhu. ”。

When Emperor Xudu heard this, he also felt reasonable, and bowed his head slightly.

The King of Reincarnation shook his head a few times again, and reasoned with Zhong Kui: "This is not true. From King Qin Guang to Ji Kang, who didn't have a deep enmity with Xiao Shizhu and the traitor in the Nine Shadows Country? This Lord Gong is a talent, even if we can't get it, we can't leave it to the Nine Shadows Kingdom. ”。

After a pause, the reincarnation king Zhiwat bowed down to Emperor Xudu, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister advocates that no matter what, Lord Gong must be returned." ”......

The snow is white, and the wind is howling on Luo Yu Mountain.

In the low clouds, snow fell.

As soon as there is snow in the entire Netherworld, it must be dark, but on the top of this Luo Yu Mountain, there can be such a rare snow once or twice a year. This is a rare snow on Luo Yu Mountain this year, and it is the second time that it has snowed in connection with last night.

After the ministers came out of the Heavenly Hall in the North Yin Middle School, they looked at the snowflakes that were fluttering one after another, and they all talked about whether there would be a third time in this rare snow in the Netherworld Mansion where only black snow often fell?

As for what Emperor Xudu has decided, no matter what the Nine Shadows Kingdom makes, as long as it is not a matter of imperial power, they will meet the requirements of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in exchange for Gong Mingyi, and they don't care about it.

It's not for them to worry about anyway.

"Wheel King, Wheel King, you wait. Zhong Kui, who was walking at the end, shouted and quickly caught up with the reincarnation king in front.

"Lord Zhong. Hearing this, the Wheel King stopped and turned around and gave him a slight salute.

"Wheel King, you are confused. Zhong Kui, who rushed to the opposite of him, immediately blew his beard and shouted: "This Lord Gong is a talent again, we don't take him seriously, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom will naturally let him go." will even think that sending him back to the imperial court to treat Lord Gong as a defeated crime is the best way. If you are so mixed up now, the court still doesn't know how many materials it will cost to exchange for Lord Gong Mingyi for this. ”。

With that, he snorted angrily.

The Reincarnation King stretched out his hand and gouged out his ears, and said disapprerovantly: "A talent like Lord Gong, we can't get it and can't leave it to the Nine Shadows Kingdom, of course we have to come back." When he returned, he had only his usefulness. ”。

"Lord Zhong, you can take care of those evil spirits. This major matter of the court is not something that a ghost official like you who does the duty of chasing the murderer can understand. After saying this, the Wheel King snorted lightly, turned around and left, and did not forget to drop a sarcastic sentence to Zhong Kui: "What are you? ”。

Leaving Zhong Kui alone, he fought alone in the snow in front of the main hall, watching the back of the departing King of Reincarnation, so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Zhong Kui. ”

At this moment, the shout of Emperor Xudu came from the door of the main hall.

Zhong Kui turned around, and after saluting the Emperor Xudu who waved to him, he hurriedly turned around and returned to the door of the main hall, stood beside the Emperor Xudu, and bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, what else do you command?"

Emperor Xudu stared at the snowflakes like catkins in the sky, and sighed: "This is the second snow this year, right?"

"Yes, there was one at the top of the mountain last night. Zhong Kui, who didn't look up, replied.

"Is there a saying in the world, called Ruixue Zhaofeng Year?" Emperor Xudu then asked.

"Yes. Zhong Kui bowed his head slightly and said, "That's a proverb." ”。

"But in the Netherworld, there is an ancient rumor that the snow will fall three times a year, and the northern yin will die in the next year. Recently, I don't know how this rumor has spread again, you go and check it cleanly, who spread these rumors again, which makes people feel unstable. Yu Du looked at the snowflakes fluttering in front of him, and said slowly: "I have found the source of the rumors, and I will not spare them." ”。

"Yes. Zhong Kui responded, finally raised his head, looked at the side face of Emperor Xudu, and said bluntly: "But Your Majesty, people's hearts will not be unstable because of one or two rumors. As long as the ghost people can live and work in peace and contentment, not only will such rumors not shake people's hearts, but they can also make Beiyin work together. ”。

But Emperor Xudu didn't listen to his words at all. Turning around to himself, he walked slowly towards the main hall without saying a word.

Emperor Xudu crossed the threshold with his front foot, and suddenly spoke: "You just do your thing, you don't have to worry about the rest." ”。

Even the tone and tone are exactly the same as the previous reincarnation kings. As soon as they heard it, they all thought Zhong Kui was meddling.

"Yes. Zhong Kui responded, sighing secretly in his heart.

"By the way, if this is really as we predicted, the Nine Shadows Council used Gong Mingyi to blackmail the imperial court, then the imperial court needs a ghost envoy who is specifically responsible for negotiating with them. Standing behind the high threshold, Emperor Xudu turned his back to Zhong Kui outside the door, put his hands behind his back, and said unhurriedly: "I think about it, and I think that the responsibility of this ghost envoy has been handed over to you is the most suitable." Although you look a little scary, you are talented and full of wealth. It is a rich and talented human soul, and he is bold. It just so happens that learning so many things can come in handy. We also have to bargain with whatever conditions the Nine Shadows Kingdom proposes. You're so talented, it's just right for you to go. ”。
